Help!!! I'm trying to run the Lemmings Christmas demo (lemxms.lzh) and can't get it to work. I've gotten all the files on to disk just as the file abstract says to do, but I don't know the actual command to start the demo. I've tried quite a few ways but none have worked! Have any of you tried it? BobK.

Bob, With the actual Lemmings game, you have to boot from the Lemmings disk in order to run the program. I just dug out my copy from last Christmas, though, and was able to make it run by: CD DF0:LEMMDEMO ASSIGN LIBS: DF0:LIBS DEMO Reboot after the demo, or else be sure to assign your libs: back to your regular libs: directory. I tried just adding a path to the df0:libs, and didn't get it going. I think all it needs from that demo libs: directory is the explode.library, so you might prefer putting that library into your regular libs: directory if you have plenty of disk space. Bob, would you please give us your full name in the forum? It is one of the rules of the forum (and almost all other forums on CIS) that we use full names. Go to the Forum! prompt, type OPT, and select name. Then type in both your first and your last names. THanks. —Betty

Betty, I followed your instructions for the Lemmings demo and still keep getting amessage that says "I need explode.library V4+". Do you have any suggestions? Bob Kuzmeski

Bob, Look in the libs: directory on your Lemmings demo disk. If there is an explode.library there, that is the one the program wants. You can copy that to your regular libs: directory and the program can find it there. I was getting that same message until I assigned my libs: to the libs: on the demo disk. After I made that assign, the program loaded and ran. Other than this, I wouldn't know, because this did work for me. —Betty
